Attached is a summary of the tentative agreement reached
with the Montana State University – Billings Faculty Association. This bargaining unit consists of about 140
faculty members at MSU-Billings. The
union-ratified tentative agreement includes revisions to the prior agreement.

Revisions include wage increases of 3.5 percent and 4.0
percent effective October 1, 2005, and October 1, 2006, respectively.

Other revisions were for clarification and/or contract
housekeeping.

I recommend approval of the tentative agreement with the
MSU-Billings Faculty Association.
